Two and a half years ago I entered into new territory. I joined a group of rogue book launchers from all over the United States. I didn’t know a single one of them. I had no idea at the time how much my life was going to change. Those strangers have become some of my dearest friends. I have traveled across the country to meet many of them. I joined as co-founder of a ministry with my precious friend, Tracy who I would not have known except for this group. Apart from God, none of it makes any sense. You should see the looks we get when we try to explain it!
When #the4500 started I was not in a season of depression. I was excited about each new thread that came along as we got to know one another closely. I poured myself into the group because they were so incredible at pouring back into my life. As time passed these women challenged me to grow in every area of my life. Over the past two and half years my faith has grown, my understanding of multiple things has grown, my heart has grown, and my desire to be the best version of me has grown. I am grateful for each and every woman that has been a part, and continues to be a part of that journey. I am grateful that they have stood with me during my season of depression. They have prayed for me, encouraged me, challenged me, and supported me in every way possible. On this day, I would love to be sitting in a room with those women (it would have to be a big room) and just sit with them.
